A crash that caused a couple of lanes to close on Wednesday evening on the Missouri River bridge in Jefferson City led to one person having minor injuries, according to a crash report from the Jefferson City Police Department.
The report says three vehicles were heading northbound. The driver of a 2015 Nissan Frontier made a lane change and ended up hitting a 2024 Buick Encore, the report says. The Encore then hit the wall of the bridge, the report says.
Another vehicle – a 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage — was hit by debris that came off the trailer being towed by the Nissan, the report says. The Nissan had extensive damage, while the Buick had moderate damage and the Mitsubishi had minor damage, according to the report.
The driver of the Nissan — a 61-year-old woman from Columbia – had minor damage and was brought to an area hospital by ambulance. A Missouri Department of Transportation camera showed multiple first responders arriving in the area.
A RAVE alert was issued at 9:21 p.m. for the crash and traffic was back to normal by 10 p.m. Two lanes were closed during that period.
